He published the first women"s test in: with the growing number of women entering the labor market, campbell combined his test and strong" known as the strong-campbell interest inventory in. The way to build an interest inventory was to contrast the responses of a specific occupational criterion group to those of a non-specific people in general group to identify a unique set of items that differentiated the two groups. The method of developing the scales involved administering his inventory to workers in various occupations and comparing their responses with those of a general group. Items strongly preferred or rarely liked by both groups did not qualify for inclusion on an occupational scale.
